Monday, November 24th, 2025: SANY families, scholars, and staff,
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to pause and share my sincere gratitude for each of you. Our scholars bring curiosity, energy, and heart into our classrooms every single day, and it shows in the way they learn, grow, and support one another. To our dedicated staff, thank you for the steadiness you bring to your work—your patience, professionalism, and commitment to our mission lift our entire community. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed, and they make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and their families.
I hope this break gives you the space to rest, reflect, and reconnect with the people who matter most. If you’re traveling, may the journey be safe and stress-free. If you’re staying close to home, may the time be peaceful, restorative, and full of good moments.
Congratulations to all our SANY scholars for their impressive achievements at the MOST Bridges Challenge! Our SAS High School team earned 1st Place in the Senior Section, powered by dedicated student volunteers and strong coaching leadership. At the Middle School level, SAS Atoms secured 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Places in the Junior Section, demonstrating exceptional teamwork and engineering skill. Our UAS Junior-Senior High School Atoms also made us proud, with 70 students competing across CNY and earning 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Place in the Senior Section. A heartfelt thank-you to all coaches and staff whose guidance helped our students shine. Outstanding work from every team — a true celebration of SANY excellence!
When we return, we’ll be stepping into the final stretch of 2025—a stretch that always seems to pick up speed. It’s a time to finish strong, support one another, and build on the progress we’ve already made. I’m confident we’ll come back recharged and ready to make the most of the weeks ahead.
Wishing you a warm, joyful, and memorable Thanksgiving. Thank you for being an essential part of the SANY community.
Dr. Tolga Hayali
